Job Application Form

This is a two-stage application process. Applicants who we consider to be suitable for the role after answering the questions below, will be required to complete a detailed application form and invited to an interview.

Guidance notes:

The ‘why you think you would be suitable for this position’ question is the most important part of this application form.

You should consider the following:

• Applications can only be assessed on the information you provide. You need to clearly demonstrate your capabilities.
• You need to explain how you meet each of the person specification points and provide examples from your previous experience. Remember to present this in relation to the job description.
• Often the strongest applications are those that link the three elements highlighted above and are presented in a clear format (e.g. numbered points that correspond to each person specification).
• We expect your supporting statement to be a minimum of ¾ of a side of A4 and a maximum of 2 sides. (We suggest drafting it out in a word processor first and then copying and pasting it into this form – this will ensure you don’t lose the information.)
• Use concise, unambiguous sentences and avoid exaggerations.
• Honesty is always the best policy; please do not make false claims.
• Ensure you return your application in good time before the closing date – aim for the day before the deadline.
• Use concise, unambiguous sentences and avoid exaggerations.
